Abstract

Rough Non-deterministic Information Analysis (RNIA) is a rough set based framework for handling several kinds of incomplete information. In our previous research on RNIA, we gave definitions according to two modal concepts, the certainty and the possibility, and thoroughly investigated their mathematical properties. For rule generation in RNIA, we proposed NIS-Apriori algorithm, which is an extended Apriori algorithm. Our previous implementation of NIS-Apriori in C suffered from a lack of clarity caused by difficulties in expressing non-deterministic information by procedural languages. Therefore, we recently decided to improve the algorithm's design and re-implement it in Prolog. This paper reports the current state of our algorithmic framework and outlines some new aspects of its functionality.
